Fortunately, it was long ago, but in fact do push-ups is not so stupid as that. This exercise gives indeed a very good indication of your general condition.

Pumps and pumping

Pumps exercises are very simple but effective. You do not need much exercise for you: aion kinah,hard ground enough. By helping your own weight and gravity, you train your wrists, your elbows, the muscles of your arms, your shoulders and your chest.

“The pumps offer the important advantage that you does not a single muscle, as is the case with the biceps with dumbbells. No, pumping into action an entire muscle group,” explains Christophe Maes , coordinator of the control center approved by the Flemish government to Mensana Sijsele near Bruges.

Pumping well

push-ups is not totally devoid of risks. It is important to perform this exercise correctly. That is to say with a straight back, without undulation and without point behind. You rest on the hands and feet with fingers slightly apart and you bend your elbows until you find yourself a few inches of soil. Then you extend your elbows back to the starting position.

“Often at the end of their series, athletes tend to want to make a few additional movements when they are already out of breath. It is highly recommended, because at this moment your heart is already very difficult to pump blood to your muscles. In addition, the back also runs a risk if the exercise is poorly practiced “, says Christophe Maes.

It is therefore better to increase gradually the number of pumping. “Two pumping more each week is the ideal training pace. You can repeat these exercises in several sets a day or do them all at once. If you chain, you are training your heart also.”

How many pumps?

Christophe Maes believes that a dozen pumps following is a minimum for a person in shape, although this number can obviously vary depending on age and weight. “We can also train hard to be able to do 100 push-ups at once. In this case, we must not forget the back muscles and, ultimately, you will not improve your overall fitness.”
